This new trailer from Diablo III introduces the Wizard in Blizzard's upcoming action/RPG sequel. The clip includes cinematics, gameplay, and an imposing voiceover to explain the arcane power of this mystical class. Presumably the wizard's chirpy (if not twerpy) little voice is a spell so her enemies mistake her for Seong Mi-na or something.

Yea, those of us that aren't just out to bitch about all things D3. There are actually more options than there are in D2 per class, but the naysayers just see the base skills as being static. Someone posted an image other day with the number of options a max lvl Wizard has in D3 compared to the Sorcerer in D2. D3 tripled or quadrupled D2.

The lack of placing attribute points and attribute point requirements doesn't bother me either. I don't feel like I've lost anything from gameplay.

Auction House has gold and real money options. I'll use the gold version mostly, but maybe I'll even make a few extra $$ with the real money version.

I'm going to have multiple characters on the go, not sure if I'll finish the game with one before going to the other. Depends on how many coop games with various friends I get going. But I have intended for awhile for the Wizard to be my first toon launch night. I was originally thinking Demon Hunter, but everyone and their dog has been saying Barbarian or Demon Hunter as their first.

I quite enjoyed the Wizard in the beta. As already noted the Frost Nova + Wave of Force is a fun combo...as seen several times in the video above.
